Overview

• OneEPA Web = shift from organization by organization (!) to organization by topic w/ more reliance on metadata

• April 2010 – organization pages debuted http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/#offices and http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/#regional

• Existing homepages for Offices and Regions need to come down by February 1, 2011

We need your help

• Identify what content needs to be on the new page (About [YourOrg])

• Work with us to make sure the new page is accurate and complete

• Make .htaccess redirect to point to new page• Take down your existing home page

What’s on an About [Your Org] page

• Regions: http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/index.html#regional

• Labs: http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/index.html#labs

The Base Model:

• Links to your most important programs and initiatives

director contact info and top activities for each
